[Chapter-delegates] My Voice Counts video

[Joly MacFie]

Hi,

The Internet Society is making Internet accessibility awareness a priority.

A video has been produced, and just posted, highlighting a Community
Grant Programme to bring access to the blind and visually impaired in
Armenia.
http://youtu.be/13IDqSEczYU

This video currently doesn't have captions. I know that if I posted it
up on the ISOC-NY site, I'd get a swift rap on the knuckles from our
deaf and hard-of-hearing members, along the lines of putting one's
money where one's mouth is.

They have emphasized that, to make a video accessible, it requires not
only fully descriptive closed captions, but also a separate text
transcript.

So, I've made the effort to transcribe it on AMARA
http://www.amara.org/en/videos/HsE4wox0kmGw/en/519749/

I am asking, specifically, 1) if others here could review that for
accuracy, specifically the final phrase, which did not quite seem
right, and 2) given that review, the ISOC team could download the sbv
and txt versions from there and make them available on YouTube, via
closed captions and a link..

Further. I would suggest that Chapters experiment with using AMARA to
translate the captions into their own languages. It's a short 4 minute
video, so it's not a superhuman task.
